The power of physiotherapy
On the streets of Pakistan, many children survive by scavenging for food, often incurring serious injuries. One of them was severely injured by a piece of glass and required emergency surgery. After the procedure, he continued to suffer from severe pain and had difficulty moving his wrist. Finding a trustworthy doctor proved extremely challenging. Thanks to a correct diagnosis, physiotherapy was the preferred treatment, avoiding unnecessary surgery and giving the child a real chance at recovery.
